(74.3%) Deutsche Bank view – a long-term positive but limited immediate impact Free float (%) 18 Undoubtedly, we think that the inclusion of Audi import and production in Avg daily value traded 51.6 SAIC Motor’s business will help to further enrich the company’s production (USDm) portfolio, especially in the premium segment. That being said, we do not Source: Deutsche Bank envision much immediate impact on sales and earnings. To elaborate, Audi sold 487k units of cars in China in 10M16 according to the brand while more Key data than 90% of the sales volume was contributed by the FAW Audi JV’s local FYE 12/31 2015A 2016E 2017E production (for A3, A4L, A6L, Q3 and Q5). In other words, it appears that what Sales (CNYm) 664,850 716,418 774,761 SAIC can import or produce in future would mostly be not-so-mainstream Net Profit 29,793.8 31,889.7 34,778.2 models and the volume contribution is likely to be tiny vs. 1.6m units of SAIC (CNYm) Volkswagen sales in 10M16. DB EPS (CNY) 2.48 2.89 3.15 PER (x) 8.6 8.3 7.6 To conclude, we uphold our Buy recommendation on SAIC Motor as we Yield (net) (%) 6.4 6.0 6.6 believe that the company can generate stable earnings from its major JVs, Source: Deutsche Bank while its local brand production should thrive with the recently successful new model launches (e.g. Roewe RX5 SUV). All of these should translate into consistently high dividend payout. Key downside risk to our forecast is weaker- than-expected new model demand. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Deutsche Bank AG/Hong Kong Distributed on: 14/11/2016 04:54:34 GMT The views expressed above accurately reflect the personal views of the authors about the subject companies and its(their) securities.
